BBR 

BBR is a British label that specializes in reissuing classic albums. Their releases are part of the BBR Remasters series, which are presented in a Super Jewel Box with the BBR Remaster wording printed on the rear inlay card. These reissues often include bonus tracks such as extended, instrumental, and remixed versions of the lead and other singles from the album.

The attention to detail and high-quality packaging make BBR's releases stand out. The Super Jewel Box design allows for a unique window on the left-hand side of the rear inlay card, showcasing the BBR Remaster wording. This adds an extra touch of elegance to each release.

Fans can expect to find not only remastered versions of beloved albums but also additional content that enhances their listening experience. The inclusion of bonus tracks offers fans a chance to explore different versions and variations of their favorite songs.

They started life in Munich in 1974 as Silver Bird Convention when German songwriting and producing partners Michael Kunzte and Sylvester Levay released the single “Save Me” on Jupiter Records, enlisting three session singers to take care of the minimal vocal refrain on the track. With the “Bird” soon dropped from the acts name “Save Me” became an international Disco hit charting at #30 in the U.K. and across the board in the U.S. at #10 Disco and #103 Pop, heralding the start of continued success throughout the 70’s. With a settled line up of Ramona Wolf, Penny McLean and Linda G. Thompson as Silver Convention the group released this, their eponymously titled debut LP (titled “Save Me” outside of Germany) to great acclaim as the Euro-Disco sound made waves across the world with Giorgio Morodor, also based in Munich, surfing the highest. 

“Save Me” opens the album with its propulsive rhythms, sweeping horns and strings, yearning vocals and soulful sax solos. Follow up single ‘Fly, Robin, Fly’, a minimal mid-tempo dancer with a very satisfying piano motif and intricate strings, gained heavy rotation on U.S. radio as well as in the clubs, eclipsing the success of “Save Me” by hitting the top spot across the Billboard R&amp;B, Disco and Pop charts and again charting top 30 in the U.K., as well as taking home the Grammy for best R&amp;B Instrumental Performance. Other stand out tracks are the single ‘Always Another Girl’, ‘Tiger Baby’ – UK #41 and ‘I Like It’ which show off the lush, string-laden Euro sound with Levay’s arrangements tipping the hat to the likes of Gamble &amp; Huff and Barry White.
